Repatriation: The return of someone to their own country.
After a 10-day voyage through Europe, I have abandoned my lederhosen for the Black and Gold bibs as I make my triumphant return to your favorite weekly gambling column. Although the trip was filled with the finest beer and sightseeing the world has to offer, it was void of American football and the excessive gambling that goes along with it, so it’s good to be home.
The word repatriation in fact has another definition, one that may be even more applicable to this week’s column: the process of returning an asset — voluntarily or forcibly — to its owner.
